Appending line with sed works on Linux but not on Solaris
Hi folks,

Our application installation uses "sed" command to append string after specific line or after line number.
Both cases work perfect on Linux but fail on Solaris.
The OS versions are Solaris 9 and Linux Red Hat AS 3.

i.g:
Linux:
-----
file foo.txt
Code:
aaa
bbb
ccc
ddd

Code:
root# uname -s                           
Linux
root# sed '2a\Add this line after line 2\' foo.txt
aaa
bbb
Add this line after line 2
ccc
ddd

Code:
root# sed '/bbb/ a\Add this line after bbb' foo.txt
aaa
bbb
Add this line after bbb
ccc
ddd

Sun Solaris
-----------
Code:
root# uname -s
SunOS
root# sed '/bbb/ a\Add this line after bbb' foo.txt
sed: command garbled: /bbb/ a\Add this line after bbb

Code:
root# sed '2a\Add this line after line 2\' foo.txt
aaa
bbb
ccc
ddd

As you can see,sed works fine on Linux but not on Solaris.
Is there a different in sed syntax between platforms?

Thanks in advance,
Nir
